To try the actual Kiwix program you need to download the rc2 source and compile it as I described. You can try it out for yourself quite quickly, using the pre-compiled kiwix server rc1 was quite slow, so rc2 appeared to be much faster. Nothing special, and 'fast' is all relative. People interested in hacking with Kiwix can join us on #Kiwix Freenode IRC channel. Our biggest problem is that it seems that the Ethernet NIC 'does not works well' We are also pretty interested by the Raspberry Pi for our kiwix-plug project. So you just have to download and use them. We also release (see on Sourceforge) precompiled static version of these console tools for ARM/Linux. You may have a look of how it looks in a browser there. Kiwix-serve allows to start from the console a HTTP daemon which could be both more interesting and less resource intensive than the Desktop application. We have released a new version of Kiwix (0.9rc2) with pretty much improvements regarding the Kiwix HTTP server (kiwix-serve) and other console tools. If you have time to publish a small video about that, this would be awesome. I have to admit that I never have seen Kiwix running on a ARM/Linux ! So, this is great to read you have achieved to do that. Thank you Andrew for this really interesting post. 16Gb), to leave the two USB ports free for a keyboard and a mouse.

I think if you wanted to make a standalone Wikipedia reader you'd have to install the OS and zim file on a larger SD card (e.g. The zim file, containing the Wikipedia data, is on a 4Gb USB drive. The OS (Raspian from December 2012) and kiwix is on a 4Gb SD card. Compilation takes a while.įor testing I downloaded the Simple English Wikipedia (because it's relatively small) from the bottom of the page here: configure and make (and optionally make install). Then I installed the necessary support libraries as described under GNU/Linux here: I am pleased to say that kiwix can be compiled from source on the Pi and it works.

It is advised to just use the run command and use an asterisk so you don't have to add or change the zim filenames in the compose stack above. Docker Compose StackĬhange the volume location to that of your own and add the correct zim file names that are in that directory to the stack. The Gutenberg Library’s 60,000 books will fit on 60 Gb of storage space. For instance, the entirety of Wikipedia (more than 6 million articles, with images) can fit in 80Gb. Our technology’s main advantage is its high compression rate. We turn various online contents (such as Wikipedia, for example) into ZIM files, and these can be opened by Kiwix even if you have no connectivity. Kiwix is an offline reader – meaning that it allows you to browse text or video that is normally only available on the internet. Simply start Kiwix-Serve on your machine, and your content will be available for anybody through their web browser.
